During those early days of the 504 program, John was also one of the leading bank 504 lenders in the Salt Lake Valley.
In 1996, John joined Mountain West Small Business Finance, an industry-leading CDC. Before his promotion to President in 2017, John served as the Servicing Manager and as the EVP-Credit Administrator. As the Servicing manager, he gained extensive experience in liquidations.
